A Place Called Home

It’s no surprise, but I had to know for sure
I just don’t belong here anymore
I guess I longed for a change, but everything’s the same, the same as before

I used to dream, but now I can’t even sleep
It feels like you’re moving, but your standing still
And everyone is rowing the boat, there’s no time to stand up and rock it

And you, oh you like to talk about work
And you only get drunk at weekends
And you, oh you prefer to complain
Well, there’s gotta be another way
I’m just feeling bored and lonely
It’s all too mediocre to believe in
But I was taught to call this home

It’s quite hard to be nice when giving is a sin
But I don’t blame anyone, we were born into this
It all comes down to fear, my friend, otherwise you wouldn’t be an honest citizen

And you, oh you like to talk about work
And you only get drunk at weekends
And you, oh you prefer to complain
Well, there’s gotta be another way
I’m just feeling bored and lonely
It’s all too mediocre to believe in
But I was taught to call this home
